Come, Thou long-expected Jesus,
born to set Thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us;
let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel’s strength and consolation,
hope of all the earth Thou art;
dear desire of every nation,
joy of every longing heart.
Born Thy people to deliver,
born a child, and yet a King,
born to reign in us forever,
now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal Spirit
rule in all our hearts alone;
by Thine own sufficient merit,
raise us to Thy glorious throne.
I wait, await, await, await
I’m waiting for my king to come
I wait, await, await, await
I’m waiting for my king to come
The morning stars will sing together
On the day of His Holy birth
The sons of God will shout for joy
Oh praise the Lord of all the Earth
Someday war will be a memory
Someday we will rise above
The racial strife, the choosing sides
I will abide in my heavenly home

This is a new take on the original hymn by Charles Wesley. It's said that Charles Wesley wrote this hymn in response to looking around at the darkness and strife of his own time period, so I tried to do a little bit of the same in adding a new section to this song.
Justin Cross is a great friend and a great songwriter to boot. This is his most recent album of original material, full of sweet melodies and thought provoking words. Enjoy! Wilder Adkins
Becca's writing is so rich, I fell in love instantly with her images and the stories she weaves here in Doxologies. One of my favorites of 2015. Wilder Adkins

As with some listeners, I was introduce to The Oh Hellos via the animation meme. While some praise the lyrics or the ethereal qualities of the songs, I praise the precision of the guitarist. The hammer-ons and pull-offs in "Soldier, Poet, King" are so crisp that it makes me wish I picked up Lead Guitar instead of Bass. schrotflinte
